IDF led the way to the UN Summit with our dedicated programme of advocacy and technical work – the Diabetes Roadmap Programme. The Roadmap outlined our key objectives, deliverables and strategy for the UN Summit, and focused our role at two levels – both as a leader of the NCD Alliance and the global diabetes community.

The Roadmap inspired a series of political breakthroughs including:

Leading a civil society movement and strategic allies as a Steering Group member of the NCD Alliance

Catalysing dialogue and priority setting

Strengthening the evidence base and reframing the debate on diabetes with an impressive series of publications

Mobilising advocacy and action from local to global levels with scaled up communication and media coverage
